Trees are like little weather makers. In the morning, they take in water and release it into the air as vapor, this is called evaporation. When trees do that a lot, they make the air around them cooler. At night, trees give off heat they stored during the day, keeping things warm. This is how forests can change the temperature of nearby areas, just like a giant, living blanket.
Examples
- At night, when you walk through a forest after it rained, the ground still feels warm, that’s heat from the trees coming back out.
- Trees near your house can change how quickly it gets cold during winter nights.
